The village was first mentioned in 1356 as "den Hoorn". The current name means "old corner (of a dike)". The eponymous polder was created in 1356 by order of Machteld van Voorne. Oud (old) has been added to distinguish from Nieuwenhoorn.[3]

Oudenhoorn was an independent municipality until 1980 when it was merged into Bernisse. In 2015, it became part of Hellevoetsluis.[4]
